November 2009

I hope you had a great weekend. We had a busy one with hockey and Christmas shopping!!

Don't forget that today is the last day to purchase all those great products in the Holiday Extravaganza Sale. You can click here to check out the great savings!!!

I wanted to share with you this super cute baby thank you card that I got in the mail from my friend Heather. She had sent me a thank you card with a picture of her sweet little baby Cole. Don't you love getting mail like this!!!!

This is a great gift to give to coworkers, friends, family or even as secret Santa gift. Who wouldn't want to get a sleeve of yummy decorated York Patties?

The York Patties are decorated using the Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" Circle Punches. I put the York Patties between 2 scallop circles. The reindeer and Santa are from the Sparkly and Bright stamp set. The Holly Jolly is from the Christmas Punch Level 2 Hostess stamp set.

The sleeve is a plastic bookmark. I just cut off the flap and pinched it together and tied a Old Olive Ribbon around it. How fun is that???

Yeah, it's the weekend! I'm hoping to do some more Christmas shopping and we might even put up our Christmas Decorations. I can't wait to decorate our house for the festival season.

A while ago, my friend Heather had a fundraiser for GI Cancer. All the proceeds she made that day was donate in her father's memory. I couldn't attend that day, so I purchase a kit from her. This was one of the cards in the kit.

It uses the Sparkly and Bright stamp set along with the Christmas Cocoa Designer Series Paper. I have to say that I love using Soft Suede this year for my Christmas cards. I love how it coordinates with Chocolate Chip and Real Red so nicely.

Shop on-line with me 24/7 by clicking here, did you see all the great sales in the Holiday Extravaganza and the Clearance Rack.

Did you see all the new items added to the Clearance Rack like the Chocolate Chip and Purely Pomegranate Satin Ribbon, Dashing and Frosty Designer Series Paper and so much more.? Hurry, you don't want to wait too long as these items will go quickly!!

I'm excited to share my project with you today. I have seen this project on many blogs and finally decided it was time to make one. You could use this gift idea to hold anything like chocolate, a gift card and even 3 by 3 cards.

This adorable gift set is made using the Box #2 die and the Big Shot Machine. The best thing about this box is that it only requires 2 pieces of tape to hold it together. Gotta love it!!!

The 3 by 3 cards are decorated with the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper and stamp with the Sparkly and Bright stamp set. As I wanted them to match my outside design on my gift set. I love the new 1 1/4" Striped Chocolate Chip Ribbon!!!

I hope you are having a great week. Last night I was cleaning up my book shelves when I came across this book that I made back in the summer. I want to make a handy little book where I could write down my to do list and jot down notes as I thought of them.

My chipboard book is decorated with Rose Red, Whisper White and Bermuda Bay card stock. The Designer Series Paper is The Thoroughly Modern. I added Rose Red and Bermuda Bay ribbon to the spine of the book. The greeting is from My Favourite Things stamp set.

As soon as my daughter saw this book sitting on the counter, she claimed it for herself. She said "it was so beautiful mommy...can I have it? "" How do you say no to that!!!

Here is the side of the book. I used the Round Tab punch to create my tabs.

The other night while I was checking out Splitcoaststampers, I came across this adorable card made by Richelle from Creative Craft Fusion. I just fell in love with it and knew that I had to make one myself.

This was a fun card to make as it uses our punches. Did you know that you can use the Ornament Punch to make faces??? The base of the card was made using the Scallop Circle Die and the Big Shot Machine.

Did you see the Holiday On-line Extravaganza Sale?? Right now you can purchase the Scallop Border Punch and the Heart to Heart punch for only $16.07. There are over 40 products on sale right now for up to 50% off.

It's been a busy weekend around here. I spent most of yesterday Christmas Shopping and boy was it busy in the malls. You would have thought it was the day before Christmas. I was able to check somethings off my list but I still need to do some more shopping.

So all this Christmas Shopping has put me in a Festive Mood. It's really hard not to make Christmas Projects at this time of year.

This is one of the projects that we made in my Simply Punch Class. The girls loved it. This idea came from my friend Heather!!

It's a Santa Triangle box and you can fill it will treats. How cute would these be hanging on the Christmas Tree?

I'm exited to share with you that Stampin' Up! just announced New Digital Downloads for Christmas. No more stressing about your Christmas Projects. There are seven new digital downloads and they include several holiday-themed kits that will make your Christmas projects a breeze!

I'm super excited to show you my card for today. Do you want to know how to create a blank area using the new Petals a Plenty Impression Folder?? This is way too cool!!! Trust me you are going to want to purchase this folder before it's gone. You can only purchase this folder till Jan 4, 2010 as it currently in the Holiday Mini.

Using the Petals a Plenty Impression Folder, the Top Note die and the Big Shot machine, I created a blank top note area for my trees. This cool technique was showed to us by the famous Patty Bennett. You can view a tutorial here on how to do this amazing technique.

Then I stamped the Pine Tree from Lovely as a Tree in Old Olive onto my blank Top Note area. Next, I stamped the tree again( without re-ink my stamp) to create another tree but in a softer tone, then I stamp the tree again.
